What control.

[1]Writtenby Lenin in connection with §4 of the draft resolution
of the C.P.C. on the “Moscow Higher State Art and Technical
Studios”. Lenin’s proposal was adopted and §4 was approved
in the following wording: “Enrolled students shall be deemed
fulfilling their academic obligations under study control on the
strength of special rules which must be established by the Chief
Labour Committee together with the People’s Commissariat for
Education within the fortnight and submitted for approval to
the Council of People’s Commissars.”

Leninmade the following correction in the note to §3 of the
draft: instead of the words “in their preparatory year” he
inserted “in all years”. With Lenin’s amendment, the note read: “In
all years, the teaching of political science and the fundamentals
of the communist world outlook shall be obligatory.”

Inthis form, the C.P.C. resolution was approved on
December 18, 1920.
